Jensen Button swept to victory in the Turkish Grand Prix on Sunday (07/06) to give Brackley-based Brawn their sixth F1 podium of the season.
Button capitalised on Sebastian Vettel's first-lap error at Istanbul to take the lead and dominate the race.
The win saw 29-year-old Button increase his lead at the top of the drivers' championship to 26 points, with team-mate Rubens Barrichello in second place.
Vettel finished third in Turkey behind team-mate Mark Webber while Toyota's Jarno Trulli was fourth. McLaren's world champion Lewis Hamilton finished 13th.
Barrichello fared less well, being forced to retire with mechanical problems on lap 48.
Silverstone-based Force India Mercedes driver Adrian Sutil was 17th, while team-mate Giancarlo Fischella retired.
